The Sacramento Transportation Authority (STA) considers our Annual Fiscal Year Budget to be a living document. That means we never stop reviewing, forecasting, planning, and developing a budget which meets the transportation needs, programs, and services of Sacramento County and its many partners.

We couldn’t prepare STA’s Budget without you - the public, and the many agencies and cities we serve.

 

Before our Annual Budget is adopted and implemented, we take many important steps:

December

STA updates revenue forecasts based on key economic indicators and long-term financial planning.

January – March

Budget development begins based on Q1-2 expenditures.

STA works with each Measure A partner to identify their funding needs.

April

Independent Taxpayer Oversight Committee reviews DRAFT budget and make recommendations.

May

The public and STA Board of Directors are invited to comment, ask questions, and offer direction.

June

The FINAL Budget is presented to the STA Board of Directors for adoption, requiring majority approval.

 

At STA, we are committed to providing a balanced budget which makes sense now and for the long-term future of transportation in Sacramento County. We are honored to be trusted with your Measure A taxpayer dollars and to safeguard a strategic planning process which:

• Builds Public Trust
• Develops Great Relationships
• Align Transportation Priorities with Funding
